Scrap Metal-Spitting-votes for non British-Immigrants living in crowded houses


I have a lot to say but let the newspaper reports do most of my talking, Interesting see at long last you fined for spitting but when a copper is spat in the face and gives the spitter a smack he is taken to court, you have to ask the question why and the spitter is not charged. Reminds me of the time I was canvassing as a potential Conservative Councillor in a Labour area, I knocked on the door and told the housekeeper who I was. He looked at me and said he hates Tories and that he was going to spit at me. I said you spit at me I will knock your teeth down your throat; he looked and said you can’t do that. I replied spit and see what happens, needless to say he did not spit at me and I did not get his vote.

As a landlord we are continually be slated yet the main power in in the hands of the Tenant and we are now blamed for a housing shortage and what are Labour’s plans? To nationalise Building Land and take on the job of building house and renting going back to the bad old days of those massive horrible Council Estates where the tax payer pays for subsidised rents for the idle who do not want to work. Why is there a housing shortage (if that is true) it because open the floodgates to immigrants 1.5 million and allow single people on housing benefit to live in houses with more then one bedrooms. What they could encourage is the conversion of Warehouses into one bedroom flats
 A comment was made to me about those people collecting scrap, the government has made it compulsory for all those selling scrap to pay by cheque to stop thieving and make them pay taxes. The rumour is that Travellers/Pikey etc. are exempt well l that is not true let me quote you from the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013. So if you know of any of these paying cash let me know

Public strongly oppose votes for foreign citizens

September 05, 2013
Last week a report by Migrationwatch revealed that about one million Commonwealth citizens who are not British citizens nevertheless have the right to vote in our General Elections.
The government’s response was that this right to vote in our elections “reflects our close historical ties with Commonwealth countries. Excluding Commonwealth citizens would be significant and would require careful consideration. Parliament has previously taken the view that these rights should not be changed.”
Now an opinion poll by YouGov has found that the present situation is opposed by the public by 2 to 1. 60% do not think that these people should be able to vote in General Elections. Only 30% are in favour; 9% don’t know.
There is some variation across parties. Of those intending to vote UKIP 79% are opposed, for the Conservatives 69%, Labour 56% and Lib Dems 42%. The majority of people across all age groups were opposed with the older groups more strongly so. In London, opposition was less strong 48/39 compared to approximately 63/29 in the rest of the South of England (62/29), the North (63/29) and the Midlands/ Wales (63/28). In Scotland it was opposed by 57/35.
Commenting, Sir Andrew Green, Chairman of Migrationwatch UK said “Public opinion is rightly very strong on this. The situation is both very unfair and undermines the value of citizenship. The government’s response so far has been pathetic. When Parliament has considered it in the past MPs had no idea of the scale that this issue had reached. Now that the scale has become known, this hang over from the Empire must be tackled and soon”.
